Notice of Construction Hamilton Avenue Pole Replacement Date: December 4, 2025
by: Southern California Edison
Published: November 25, 2025
HUNTINGTON BEACH...Southern California Edison (SCE) will be replacing three poles on Hamilton Avenue. The poles are located within the Ascon landfill property. The work will be conducted at night and will take place on Thursday, December 4, 2025, from 7 pm to 5 am. No street closures are planned. However, work will temporarily impact traffic flow on Hamilton Avenue, with flaggers directing traffic as needed. Street parking will not be allowed while the work is taking place. SCE will notify residents of any power outages during the work.
The scope of work involves the removal of three existing wood poles, which will be replaced with wood poles. Following the installation of the new poles, SCE will transfer existing wires, distribution lines, conductors, telecommunications circuits, and other electrical equipment (e.g., transformers).
Please be advised that the work may be noisy at times and will require work lighting because it will be nighttime. Our team will work diligently to minimize disruptions, direct lighting away from residences, and complete the work as efficiently as possible. All work will be conducted safely and in compliance with environmental and safety regulations. Should weather or unforeseen circumstances require rescheduling, residents will be notified in advance.
Because this work is taking place within the Ascon landfill site and SCE is required to obtain permits for soil excavation and movement, we are also required by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD) to provide additional notification, which is attached on page 2 of this notice.
We appreciate your patience and cooperation during this work and thank you for your understanding as we complete these necessary improvements.
If you experience dust, odors, noise, or any other issues during the work, please call our onsite manager at 626-756-6403, who will be available to address concerns promptly.
